' ; Washihtn ..Special,; Marcb 27.); If Frank Fleming, son of ExSheriff Fleming,- of Hester, Granville county, is probably the only JNprth Carolini an who has got into tbe way of an exploding shell in the European war. Csrtainly he is the first one who, ab-H sorbed several portions' of the explod ed shell and got back to , the J United States 'to v tell the tale. "Moreover. be was nursed tp convalescence in a German field hospital by a tall.blonde German nurse. He values his two aionths of war experience at $ 1,00 0 but declares he would not go through it again for $ 1 0,0 00 ; Mr. Fleming attributes .his escape .yith his life to the fact that he has a sense of humor and laughed so hard at a' Seeing German' officer; that he had to sit down and rest. For this reason the shell exploded 200 , yards ahead of , him. He does not believe that under any. -.circumstances he could have outrun' it. Had he been standing up at the time it exploded he might not have come back to re late his experience. t ' P rX P-P'-u .. Mr.- Fleming is a tobacco blender and for two, years prior toVthe begin ning' bf the war . was . stationed in Rotterdam, Holland, in charge of the classification - of "tobacco for , the American-English Tobacco Co. Last December ; he eame to 'Washington and Secretary . Daniels secured him a place on the relief - committee which. sailed from New York the following day on , the Xusitania bound for Bel gium. The vessel.af ter an exception ally storn;y trip, arrived in London December 11 . Mr. Fleming and three other members of the relief commit tee went to. Flushing' and from there co Ro tterdam. ; '- ' p -P'P, Rotterdam Too, Quiet While others on the committee. went to Lriege and Namur, Mr. Fleming was kept -in Rotterdam' because of his knowiedge of the Dutch language.but after -two weeks his stay, proved too quiet and - he asked to be sent to Be r?ium. He .was sent to Namur- from which plaice he' inade trips on specia trains - into France and remote parts of Belgium. " His knowledge of Ger man enabled. hihi. to indulge his de sire for .adventure in the; German camps. At Mezieres he found that the military' governor- was an bldr friend o f f his whom; he , had ; met in Dresden He persuaded this official to "give him a pass to the front and set out with a; non-commissioned -officer fori Seis sons.
